"This is the second time True Decks has done repair/maintenance/refurbish work on our deck. The work is consistently done well and is reasonably priced. The techs (Eduardo and Luis) who completed our recent work (4/15/26) were OUTSTANDING. They were professional, courteous and efficient and the final work product exceeded our expectations. WELL DONE...thank you!"

"Alexander and his team are outstanding! They brought my old sad deck back to life and I love it! It totally transformed by back yard. Alexander took the time to work with me on choosing and matching the stain color and that was a process and he was so accommodating and patient. The team worked hard to prepare the deck before staining by installing new handrails, securing planks, sanding, and moving my furniture. He even fixed my gate which was not installed properly. I can not say enough about how beyond thrilled I am with their work, professionalism, and ease of working with them. I am looking forward to working with Alexander on my next project."

"Customer service was great! His response was quick and since we had a smaller job he managed to fit it in alongside a larger job in the area. We inquired about the deck but ended up hiring him to clean the siding as well. Both look great!"

"Cornerstone did an excellent job with our deck which required a pressure wash and stain. At the start we requested a written quote and that was received within a day. Once the order was placed the administrative staff contacted me to coordinate the work which commenced within a very reasonable amount of time. This company is first rate, professional, prompt and courteous. The final project exceeded my expectation. I highly recommend Cornerstone Hydrowash and I most definitely will hire them again"

"Dave came in and talked to us about our options. He had several suggestions as to what he would be able to do. We discussed it and figured out which option we both felt was the best for us. He provided samples and photos to help us with our decision. The contract said all work would be complete by May 1. The entire job was completed the first week in April. Not only was Dave courteous, friendly and very well informed on all aspects of our work, but his entire staff was as well..

They started with our patio. Pavers were installed over our existing concrete which saved some time and money. Everything was regraded to allow water to drain away from the house. The yard was raked and graded. All existing drains were buried and french drains we installed to prevent any future flooding issues. Raised gardens and border was placed along both sides of the yard. We chose the AstroTurf option for the center of the yard which will allow us many maintenance free years of enjoyment.

This company is very knowledgeable, professional and will show you the utmost of respect. They are there when they tell you they will be and complete everything as promised. Communication lines are open and they are certain they are doing everything to your satisfaction. I was amazed at the transformation this made to my yard. I am looking forward to spending as much time as possible enjoying it myself as we'll as with family and friends."

"I couldn't be more pleased with the deck repair that Jose and Melvin of JW Home Improvement performed for us. The attention to detail, beautiful joints, use of screws instead of nails, and the particular attention appearance and completeness. The site was left spotless. A special thanks for your dedication to working in such cold weather. Thanks."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

No, your deck will not rot under artificial grass as long as it is installed properly. When installed correctly, the artificial grass features a drainage system that prevents rotting. Simply laying artificial grass on top of the decking without proper installation will not lead to an effective drainage system that prevents rotting.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

PVC decking might be long-lasting, but this synthetic material lacks​​ the natural aesthetic or sustainability of wood decking. If you want to match your decking to your new garden furniture or just freshen up the faded surface, it’s not usually possible to paint PVC decking. When comparing PVC to composite decking, PVC is pricier and more prone to warping in hot regions.

In many areas, a floating deck that isn’t connected to your home and stays under 200 square feet and below 30 inches in height may not need a permit. These freestanding structures are often considered low-risk, which can simplify the building process. However, building codes vary greatly based on location. Before investing in any home improvement project, check with your local permitting office for deck-building guidelines.

Any wood deck provides some ventilation to the area below, as is the nature of that type of deck design. However, areas that experience excessive humidity and associated moisture benefit greatly from a dedicated ventilation system in the form of strip vents. This addition helps the various wood boards contract and expand evenly throughout the years and reduces the chances of twisting, warping, and buckling.
